Danny is an exceptional tour guide, attentive, experienced, and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time including a pit stop at Petite France, exploring Nami Island, and enjoying the beautiful Morning Calm Gardens. Both places had wheelchairs that Danny brought to our attention which helped our elderly mother immensely. He is professionally on time and his van is impeccably clean. We would recommend him to all our family and friends who will be visiting South Korea!

Very intersting tour. It was nice not remaining in the city and getting there in a very comfortable way. The moments allowed for relaxation in amazing natural surroundings were priceless.

We are thankful to Denny for making our trip to Nami island a memorable one. Denny's passion and pride for his country came through in his narratives and his enthusiasm. We also enjoyed the zipwire "adventure" that Denny very kindly helped to arrange. Denny drive very safely and his vehicle, a Hyundai Grand Starex, was very comfortable and clean. We will recommend Denny to anyone planning a trip to Seoul and it's surrounding region.

Our third day with Denny was a trip outside of Seoul. The day started early and we were on our way to Nami Island. We got there before the tour buses arrived. So we were able to zip line over and walk around the island without any crowd. We requested a stop at Gapyeong Rail Park and Denny accommodated our request. After a delicious lunch at a local dakgalbi restaurant, it was off to Garden of Morning Calm. We really enjoyed our day with Denny as our tour guide.
